113. THE ASSOCIATION’S TERRY KIRKMAN & JULES ALEXANDER REVEAL THE FULL STORY BEHIND THE BAND & RATE ALL THEIR RECORDS IN A 13-HR INTERVIEW (PART 4, 1971-2023: STOP YOUR MOTOR & WATERBEDS IN TRINIDAD)

Discograffiti host Dave Gebroe conducted a 13-hour interview with the two founders of legendary 1960s soft pop act The Association, Terry Kirkman and Jules Alexander, in which they rated the entirety of their own discography.

It’s impossible to adequately put into words how surreal this series is. Trust me, it’s unquestionably a ride worth taking no matter how you feel about the genre.

Welcome aboard the most lunatic series in Discograffiti history.

In Part 4, the final chapter (!), we tackle:

• What it felt like to tumble so quickly from the charts;
• How many ⭐️’s outta five Terry & Jules give Stop Your Motor (1971), Waterbeds In Trinidad (1972), and the slew of generic singles released through the 1970s & ‘80s;
• And the not-so-happy-sounding Happy Together Tour during which Terry insists their manager stole millions of dollars from his acts and invited Terry to take part!
